Construction kit consisting of wall elements and connectors to be inserted therebetween in order to erect room dividers

FIELD OF USE OF THE INVENTION

0001The present invention relates to a construction kit consisting of wall elements and connectors to be inserted therebetween in order to erect differently dimensioned and configured room dividers.

PRIOR ART

0002Assembleable wall elements for exhibition and store construction and also as room dividers, for example, in offices, are known in many cases.

Object of the Invention

0003Starting from the prior art previously known to this extent, the invention is based on the object of providing a system of wall elements with associated connectors, with which, under the aspects of efficient use of material, productive assembly and enabling esthetic design, highly individually adapted room dividers and work booths can be erected.

Overview of the Invention

0004The construction kit consisting of wall elements and connectors to be inserted therebetween is designed in order to erect room dividers. The wall elements are produced by compressing fiber material and have at least one connecting flank which is systematically provided with contours. The connectors are designed as a profiled rail on which there is at least one connection which has systematically arranged mating contours. The contours on the wall elements can be brought into form-fitting engagement with the mating contours on the connectors.

0005Special embodiments of the invention are defined below. The fiber material used for producing the wall elements is a compressed polyester nonwoven fabric or a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers. The connector is an extruded profile, preferably made of aluminum.

0006In the case of the wall elements which serve for installing within a room divider, all of the vertical outer edges are designed as connecting flanks with the systematic contours, wherein an inner wall extends between the connecting flanks.

0007A separate type of wall elements is determined for the outer termination on room dividers, said termination being formed only on an outer edge as the connecting flank with the systematic contours, wherein the one connecting flank is adjoined by a wing section which ends freely laterally. The fiber material used can be penetrated by dye.

0008The contours on the connecting flanks of the wall elements are arranged congruently on the front side and rear side thereof and are designed as raised webs which run on a vertical line with alternating intermediate spaces. The connectors each have a connection to the systematic mating contours on two opposite outer edges. The mating contours are designed as raised webs in pairs which run on a vertical line with alternating intermediate spaces and constrict the lateral mouth of a vertical groove. The contours rise from a lip which extends from the connecting flank, wherein the width of the lip finds space in the mouth gap of the mating contours. The dimensioning of the contours permits the latter to be inserted through the intermediate spaces on the connector.

0009The construction kit comprises by way of wall elements at least: <ul id="ul0001" list-style="none"><li id="ul0001-0001" num="0010">a) a first wall element with a rectilinear extent with respect to the vertical plane;</li><li id="ul0001-0002" num="0011">b) a second wall element with a first curvature with respect to the vertical plane;</li><li id="ul0001-0003" num="0012">c) a third wall element with a second curvature with respect to the vertical plane; and</li><li id="ul0001-0004" num="0013">d) a fourth, basically three-winged wall element with three connecting flanks, wherein the first to third wall element ends with an upper edge.</li></ul>

0014The fourth wall element consists of three partial elements which are fitted on one another, which result from the theoretical vertical bisection of the thickness of the remaining wall elements and terminate at the top with a partial edge. On the three wings of said wall element, there is in each case a complete terminating flank with the contours on both sides and a complete inner wall section extending to the element center. A contoured, complete upper edge results along the inner wall section, and a basically triangular free space is produced in the element center.

0015The upper edges on the first to third wall elements and the upper edge joined together from two partial edges on the fourth wall element are produced in a manner free from finishing during the pressing operation.

0016On the fourth wall element, a wing which is formed by the associated connecting flank and the inner wall section continuing therefrom, in each case together with an adjacent wing, spans a first angle of identical size while the two adjacent wings together span a differently dimensioned, second angle.

0017The first to third wall elements and the partial element contain reinforcing means acting in particular in the horizontal plane. The reinforcing means are produced by material-compressing pressing in, with the result of grooves running linearly and horizontally over the inner wall or partial wall. The reinforcing means on the first to third wall elements are fitted congruently to one another on the front side and on the rear side and in the same grid as the contours. By contrast, the reinforcing means on the partial element are provided only on one side and in the same grid as the partial contours.

0018With the wall elements and connectors, the following can be erected: <ul id="ul0002" list-style="none"><li id="ul0002-0001" num="0019">a) room dividers which are rectilinear, or are curved once or more than once; and/or</li><li id="ul0002-0002" num="0020">b) individual booths; and/or</li><li id="ul0002-0003" num="0021">c) interconnecting booths; and</li><li id="ul0002-0004" num="0022">d) combinations of room dividers and booths.</li></ul>

0023Fixable adapters which serve for bearing supporting surfaces and/or seats can be arranged on the connectors.

0024An adapter consists of a base part with a first hook contour and a separate counterpart with a second hook contour. In the mounted state, base part and counterpart are connected to each other, wherein the first hook contour and second hook contour thereof are determined for engaging in the intermediate space on the connector.

0025The construction kit furthermore comprises supports which are placed ahead of the wall elements from which the room divider can be erected, preferably into the interior of the room divider, wherein the individual support has: <ul id="ul0003" list-style="none"><li id="ul0003-0001" num="0026">a) a profiled tube section with a rear side and a front side, which sides are connected to each other by a central web;</li><li id="ul0003-0002" num="0027">b) a double-row slot grid on the rear side, wherein in each case the two slots of a pair are located at the same height;</li><li id="ul0003-0003" num="0028">c) in the central web a screw channel which runs through the support, and can be used for fastening a floor assembly; and wherein</li><li id="ul0003-0004" num="0029">d) a floor assembly comprises a floor element which can be leveled in height on a bolt, and a cuboidal joining part which is placed onto the lower end of the support, wherein a threaded part of the bolt is determined for engaging in the screw channel.</li></ul>

0030The adapter is connectable to a bridge strut, and a longitudinal strut can be inserted between two bridge struts, thus producing a framework which serves for bearing supporting surfaces and/or seats. The two hook contours of an adapter are determined for engaging in the two slots of a pair, which are selected for the desired height, on the slot grid of the support and, in the mounted state, grip therein in the form of claws. The adapters which are docked on the supports serve for holding supporting surfaces, wherein said supporting surfaces can be used as a working surface and/or as a tray or for the attachment of cupboard units.

Adjacent to the bead <b>107</b>, the connecting flank <b>100</b> then tapers again on the front side F and the rear side R toward a lip <b>106</b> which terminates at a free end and forms the outer edge along the longitudinal side of the first element <b>11</b>.

0133From the lip <b>106</b>, rectangular, elongate contours <b>105</b> which are spaced apart from one another systematically in the grid on the front side F and the rear side R rise over the entire longitudinal side. Respective intermediate spaces <b>104</b> remain between the contours <b>105</b> on the front side F and the rear side R, wherein the individual contours <b>105</b> have the grid spacing of, for example, 130 mm with respect to one another. The upper edge <b>103</b> runs in the horizontal direction along the inner wall <b>108</b> and over the connecting flanks <b>100</b> and is a solidified pinch edge which is produced by molding and does not require any additional finishing. On the outer edge, there is a stepped clearance <b>102</b> on the upper edge <b>103</b> in the region of the lip <b>106</b>. A plurality of reinforcing means <b>109</b> spaced apart parallel to one another run in the horizontal direction in the region of the inner wall <b>108</b> into the connecting flanks <b>100</b> and end virtually at the lips <b>106</b>. In the present example, the reinforcing means <b>109</b> are zones which are more greatly compressed and appear as grooves.

0134The first wall element <b>11</b> and the wall elements <b>1</b> described later, such as the second element <b>12</b>, the third element <b>13</b> (see <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 2A to 3C</figref>) and the side element <b>2</b> (see <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 5A to 5C</figref>) are of virtually identical construction and differ only in the shape or dimension thereof. The production operation of the wall elements <b>1</b> and the side element <b>2</b> is therefore only described once. Only the fourth element <b>14</b> (see <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 4A to 4D</figref>) differs somewhat in production and is therefore explained separately later.

0135The starting material used is a needle-punched polyester nonwoven fabric of a thickness of, for example, 15 mm, with a density of, for example, 1.5 kg/m²with the corresponding elongate and lateral dimensions which are made to be somewhat larger than the dimensions of the finished product, such as, for example, the first wall element <b>11</b>, which is for example, of a length of 1900 mm and a width of 780 mm. The polyester nonwoven fabric consists of 70% of high-melting polyfibers and 30% of bico fibers or adhesive fibers. For the pressing operation, in each case one side of the polyester nonwoven fabric is placed into the corresponding mold half while the other side of the polyester nonwoven fabric lies in the other mold half. An adhesive film is inserted between the two sides of the polyester nonwoven fabric that are still spaced apart from each other. During the pressing operation, the two mold halves move together in a complementary manner under increased temperature (approx. 190° C.) such that the two sides of the polyester nonwoven fabric are compressed by means of pressure to a thickness of, for example, 12 mm in the region of the inner wall <b>108</b> and are, as it were, connected to each other because of the adhesive film. During the pressing operation, the upper edge <b>103</b>—here made, for example, in the form of a semicircle—is formed in completed form by means of the two mold halves and using the pinch technology. The polyester nonwoven fabric is additionally compressed in the process along the upper edge <b>103</b>, as a result of which the stability is increased and the user friendliness is improved. Since, in the constructions shown later, the upper edge <b>103</b> is visible as a single edge, the elegant termination emphasizes the optical effect and, in addition, imparts an impression of overall high quality.

0136The remaining sections present on the first wall element <b>11</b>, such as the contours <b>105</b>, the lips <b>106</b>, the beads <b>107</b> and the reinforcing means <b>109</b>, are made by regions complementary thereto in the respective mold half during the pressing operation. The reinforcing means <b>109</b> and the lips <b>106</b> are compressed here to the greatest extent since the material thickness of the polyester nonwoven fabric is smallest here, while the beads <b>107</b> are compressed to the least extent since the material thickness is the greatest here. After the pressing operation, the two mold halves move apart again and the excess length of the material of the compressed polyester nonwoven fabric is removed at the two longitudinal edges thereof and at the lower edge thereof—the latter is opposite the upper edge <b>103</b>—, for example by means of water jet cutting, and therefore the first wall element <b>11</b> obtains the desired dimensions of, for example, a length of 1900 mm and a width of 780 mm. The clearance <b>102</b> on the upper edge <b>103</b> is preferably realized by a milling or cutting tool.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 2A to 2C</figref>

0137The second wall element <b>12</b> in turn has a rectangular area, but which is curved at an angle of, for example, 150°. The concave side is defined as the front side F, the convex side, by contrast, as the rear side R. The remaining regions, such as the connecting flanks <b>100</b>, the upper edge <b>103</b>, the inner wall <b>108</b> and the reinforcing means <b>109</b>, are unchanged in the design and function thereof from <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 1A to 1D</figref>. The height of the second element <b>12</b> is, for example, likewise of a system size of 1900 mm.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 3A to 3C</figref>

0138The third wall element <b>13</b> likewise has a rectangular area which is curved to an even greater extent and therefore encloses, for example, a smaller angle of 105°. The front side F here is again the concave side, and the convex rear side R is located opposite thereto. The further regions, such as the connecting flanks <b>100</b>, the upper edge <b>103</b>, the inner wall <b>108</b> and the reinforcing means <b>109</b>, also remain unchanged here in the design and function thereof with respect to the previous wall elements <b>11</b>, <b>12</b>. Within a defined system size, the third element <b>13</b> has the unit height of 1900 mm.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 4A to 4E</figref>

0139The fourth wall element <b>14</b> is a star-shaped combination of a total of three partial elements <b>18</b>. The individual partial elements <b>18</b> are rectangular plane elements, wherein one of the latter has an angle of 150° and the two remaining ones each have an angle of 105°, and therefore, in total, an angle of 360° results. The concave sides form the front sides F, and the convex rear sides R are opposite thereto. The partial element <b>18</b> with the angle of 150° is exactly half of the second element <b>12</b> in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 2A to 2C</figref>, wherein the sectional profile in the vertical direction extends centrally along the upper edge <b>103</b>. The two remaining partial elements <b>18</b> with the angles of 105° are exactly the respective halves of the third element <b>13</b> according to <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 3A to 3C</figref>, wherein the sectional profile also lies here in the vertical direction along the upper edge <b>103</b>.

0140Only one partial element <b>18</b> with the angle of 105° is described below since the other partial element <b>18</b> is identical in construction and differs merely with the angle of 150° with respect thereto. A partial flank <b>180</b> is present in each case along the longitudinal sides running in the vertical direction. The partial wall <b>188</b> extends between the two opposite, spaced-apart partial flanks <b>180</b>. Since the two partial flanks <b>180</b> are made in identical form, only the description of one thereof is required. Starting from the inner wall <b>108</b>, the partial flank <b>180</b> first of all widens to approximately half of the length thereof on the front side F with a partial bead <b>187</b>. Adjacent to the partial bead <b>187</b>, the partial flank <b>180</b> then tapers in turn on the front side F toward a partial lip <b>186</b> which ends at a free end and forms the outer edge along the longitudinal side of the partial element <b>18</b>. From the partial lip <b>186</b>, the partial contours <b>185</b>, which are formed identically, but only on one side with respect to the contours <b>105</b>, rise over the entire longitudinal side on the front side F. An intermediate space <b>104</b> remains in each case between the partial contours <b>185</b> on the front side F. The partial edge <b>183</b> runs in the horizontal direction along the partial inner wall <b>188</b> and over the partial flanks <b>180</b> and is, in turn, a solidified pinch edge which is produced by molding and likewise does not require any additional finishing.

0141The starting material for the fourth wall element <b>14</b> is unchanged. During the pressing operation, the corresponding side of the polyester nonwoven fabric is placed into the respective mold half, wherein the other mold half is made as a flat surface in order to produce a basically smooth rear side R. During the pressing operation, the two mold halves move together at an increased temperature of approx. 190° C. such that the polyester nonwoven fabric is compressed by means of pressure to a thickness of 6 mm in the region of the partial inner wall <b>188</b>. During the pressing operation, the partial edge <b>183</b>—made here, for example, in the form of a quarter circle—is formed in completed form by means of the two mold halves and the pinch technology and the polyester nonwoven fabric is additionally compressed along the partial edge <b>183</b>. The remaining sections present on the fourth wall element <b>14</b>, such as the partial contours <b>185</b>, the partial lips <b>186</b>, the partial beads <b>187</b> and the reinforcing means <b>109</b>, are made by the complementary regions in the mold half during the pressing operation. The reinforcing means <b>109</b> and the partial lips <b>186</b> are compressed here to the greatest extent since the material thickness of the polyester nonwoven fabric is the smallest here, whereas the partial beads <b>187</b> are compressed to the least extent since the material thickness is the greatest here. After the pressing operation, the two mold halves move apart again, and the excess length of material of the compressed polyester nonwoven fabric is removed at the two longitudinal edges thereof and at the lower edge thereof opposite the partial edge <b>183</b>, for example by means of water jet cutting, such that the partial element <b>18</b> obtains the desired dimensions of, for example, a length of 1900 mm.

0142After the pressing operation, the three individual partial elements <b>18</b> are joined together, wherein the rear side R of the partial element <b>18</b> of 150° lies on the two rear sides R of the partial elements <b>18</b> each having 105°, and the two rear sides R of the partial elements each having 105° lie against each other and, at the respectively touching points, form the inner wall <b>108</b>. The connection of the individual partial elements <b>18</b> can be produced with an adhesive film. By joining the partial elements <b>18</b> together, the three connecting flanks <b>100</b> are also produced in the direction of the free ends of said partial elements <b>18</b>, and adjacent to the inner wall <b>108</b>. The central region of the joined-together fourth element <b>14</b> is made in the form of a center <b>141</b>, wherein, in the center <b>141</b>, the respective rear sides R of the partial elements <b>18</b> are opposite each other at a distance from each other and form a cavity therebetween. The partial edges <b>183</b> made, for example, in the form of a quarter circle in the center <b>141</b> complement each other at the transition to the inner walls <b>108</b> to form semicircular upper edges <b>103</b>. The cavity formed by the center <b>141</b> can be closed by means of a covering (not shown here) which is complementary with respect to the center <b>141</b>. As a result, only the upper edges <b>103</b> are visible as single edges on the constructions realized later, and the elegant termination emphasizes the optical effect. The corresponding connecting flank <b>100</b> sits along the corresponding longitudinal sides which each run in the vertical direction. A clearance <b>102</b> in the form of a step is present on the outer edge in the region of the lip <b>106</b> on the upper edge <b>103</b>. The remaining regions, such as the contours <b>105</b>, the intermediate spaces <b>104</b> and the reinforcing means <b>109</b> are unchanged in the design and function thereof from the preceding figures. The height of the fourth element <b>14</b> would be dimensioned at 1900 mm within the exemplary size system.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 5A to 5C</figref>

0143Like the wall elements <b>1</b>, the side element <b>2</b> has a rectangular, basically flat area with a front side F and rear side R. A connecting flank <b>20</b> is present along one of the longitudinal sides running in the vertical direction and continues to the opposite longitudinal side with a wing <b>21</b>. Starting from the wing <b>21</b>, the connecting flank <b>20</b> first of all widens to approximately half of the length thereof on the front side F and the rear side R with a bead <b>27</b>. Adjacent to the bead <b>27</b>, the connecting flank <b>20</b> then tapers in turn on the front side F and the rear side R toward a lip <b>26</b> which ends at a free end and forms the outer edge along the longitudinal side of the side element <b>2</b>. From the lip <b>26</b>, a plurality of spaced-apart, rectangular, elongate contours <b>25</b> rise over the entire longitudinal side on the front side F and the rear side R. An intermediate space <b>24</b> remains in each case between the contours <b>25</b> on the front side F and the rear side R. The upper edge <b>23</b> runs in the horizontal direction along the connecting flank <b>20</b> and the wing <b>21</b> and is a solidified pinch edge which is produced by molding and does not require any additional finishing. Along the longitudinal side of the side element <b>2</b>, which longitudinal side is opposite the lip <b>26</b>, the pinch edge continues in a vertical profile direction as far as the lower end of the side element <b>2</b>. The transition between the upper edge <b>23</b> and this longitudinal side of the side element <b>2</b> is rounded. A step-shaped clearance <b>22</b> is present on the upper edge <b>103</b> and the outer edge in the region of the lip <b>26</b>. A plurality of reinforcing means <b>29</b> which are spaced apart parallel from one another and are of the type already described extend in the horizontal direction in the region of the connecting flank <b>20</b> and end virtually at the lip <b>26</b>.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 6A to 6C</figref>

0144The connector <b>3</b> of the first variant is in the shape of an H profile and has the two limbs <b>31</b> with the plane-shaped outer surfaces thereof. The central web <b>32</b> extends between the limbs <b>31</b>, wherein the limbs <b>31</b> each surround a connection <b>30</b> on both sides. The connections <b>30</b> are made in an identical manner, and therefore only one connection <b>30</b> is described below. A connection <b>30</b> essentially consists of a groove <b>36</b> which extends over the entire length of the connector <b>3</b>, is open toward the narrow side and is bounded laterally by the two struts which are adjacent to each other. At the free end of each strut, a projection which is directed toward the mouth of the groove <b>36</b> is provided in sections on the interior wall. The projections in pairs form the mating contours <b>35</b> which therefore constrict the groove <b>36</b> from both sides. An intermediate space <b>34</b> remains between the individual mating contours <b>35</b>. The connector <b>3</b> is passed through centrally in the longitudinal direction by a screw channel <b>39</b> which lies within the central web <b>32</b> and, at both of the open ends, has a thread which would be useable for fastening the covering assembly <b>8</b> described later (see <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 9A to 9E</figref>) or the leg assembly <b>9</b> (see <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 10A and 10B</figref>).

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 6D to 6F</figref>

0145On the connector <b>3</b>′ of the second variant, all of the equivalent contours which are located on the connector <b>3</b> of the first variant are provided with identical reference numbers, but with the addition of a prime [′]. To this extent, a repeating description is not required. The sole design difference at the connector <b>3</b>′ of the second variant consists in that the two limbs <b>31</b>′ do not have continuously plane-shaped outer surfaces, but rather the longitudinal edges thereof are rounded in pairs toward the respective connection <b>30</b>′. The screw channel <b>39</b>′ is provided for the fastening of the covering assembly <b>8</b>′ of the second variant (see <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 9F and 9G</figref>) or of the leg assembly <b>9</b>′ of the second variant (see <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 10C and 10D</figref>).

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 7A to 7C</figref>

0146Two third elements <b>13</b>, with the respective connecting flanks <b>100</b> thereof, are initially close to the connector <b>3</b> of the first variant. The corresponding lip <b>106</b> points here in the direction of alignment with the groove <b>36</b>. The connector <b>3</b> is already docked on the longitudinal side, located on the outside on the left, of the third element <b>13</b>, and therefore the lip <b>106</b> is accommodated in the groove <b>36</b>. In the position illustrated, the connector <b>3</b> located between the two third elements <b>13</b> would not be able to dock onto the connecting flanks <b>100</b> of the wall elements <b>13</b> which are close thereto. To this end, the intermediate spaces <b>34</b> have to be aligned with the contours <b>105</b>.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 8A to 8C</figref>

0147Two first elements <b>11</b> are docked on the respective connection <b>30</b> of the connector <b>3</b> of the first variant. The lips <b>106</b> and the contours <b>105</b> of the first elements <b>11</b> come to lie here in the grooves <b>36</b> of the connector <b>3</b>, and the mating contours <b>35</b> of the connector <b>3</b> reach here virtually behind the contours <b>105</b> of the first elements <b>11</b>. The beads <b>107</b> are located here in a line with the respective outer edges of the connector <b>3</b>, wherein a small gap remains between connector <b>3</b> and the beads <b>107</b>.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 9A to 9E</figref>

0148The covering assembly <b>8</b> of the first variant is initially close to the connector <b>3</b> of the first variant, on which a first element <b>11</b> is docked on the facing connection <b>30</b> just on one side. The covering assembly <b>8</b> consists of the cap <b>80</b>, the attachment part <b>83</b> and the screw <b>89</b>. The connector <b>3</b> ends with the upper edge thereof flush with the clearance <b>102</b> present on the lip <b>106</b>. The attachment part <b>83</b> can therefore be correctly positioned and screwed on the upper end of the connector <b>3</b>. An upwardly directed displacement of the docked wall element <b>11</b> in the connector <b>3</b> is therefore prevented, which contributes to the lateral stability of the construction. The cap <b>80</b> which is placed on last only has a decorative function.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 9F and 9G</figref>

0149On the covering assembly <b>8</b>′ of the second variant, all of the equivalent contours which are located on the covering assembly <b>8</b> of the first variant are provided with the same reference numbers, but with the addition of a prime [′]. In this respect, a repeating description is not required. The single design difference at the covering assembly <b>8</b>′ of the second variant consists in the outer contour of the cap <b>80</b>′ being matched for the purpose of a harmonious transition to the curvature profile of the limbs <b>31</b>′ of the connector <b>3</b>′ of the second variant.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 10A and 10B</figref>

0150The leg assembly <b>9</b> of the first variant comprises the floor element <b>90</b>, which can be leveled in height on a bolt <b>99</b>, and a cuboidal joining part <b>93</b> which is placed on the lower end of the connector <b>3</b> of the first variant. The bolt <b>99</b> is mounted in the screw channel <b>39</b> of the connector <b>3</b>.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 10C and 10D</figref>

0151On the leg assembly <b>9</b>′ of the second variant, all of the equivalent contours which are located on the leg assembly <b>9</b> of the first variant are provided with the same reference numbers, but with the addition of a prime [′]. To this extent, a repeating description is not required. The single design difference at the leg assembly <b>9</b>′ of the second variant consists in that the outer contour of the joining part <b>93</b>′ is matched for the purpose of harmonious transition to the curvature profile of the limbs <b>31</b>′ of the connector <b>3</b>′ of the second variant.

0152The adapter <b>4</b> of the first variant in the form of a table top holder consists of a base part <b>40</b> and the counterpart <b>46</b> which is screwable thereto. The base part <b>40</b> has the upper side <b>41</b> with the fastening holes <b>42</b> opening here, and the tongue <b>43</b> with the holes <b>42</b> and the first hook contour <b>44</b> located at the end. The counterpart <b>46</b> has holes <b>47</b> in order to introduce the screws <b>49</b> for the purpose of connection to the base part <b>40</b>, and the second hook contour <b>48</b>. Further screws <b>49</b> serve for fastening a supporting surface <b>5</b> by the lower side <b>51</b> thereof on the upper side <b>41</b> of the base part <b>40</b>. In the assembled state, the two hook contours <b>44</b>, <b>48</b> form a claw which is intended for grasping the connector <b>3</b> of the first variant with engagement of the hook contours <b>44</b>, <b>48</b> in a selected intermediate space <b>34</b>. The upper side <b>50</b> of the mounted supporting surface <b>5</b> is useable as a worktop or tray. The hook contours <b>44</b>, <b>48</b> find space in the grooves <b>36</b> of the connector <b>3</b> at the inserted lips <b>106</b>.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 11C, 11D, 12D and 12E</figref>

0153On the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the second variant, all of the equivalent contours which are located on the adapter <b>4</b> of the first variant are provided with the same reference numbers, but with the addition of a prime [′]. In this respect, a repeating description is not required. The single difference at the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the second variant for increasing the mechanical strength consists in that the tongue <b>43</b>′ on the base part <b>40</b>′ and the counterpart <b>46</b>′ are designed to be more solid. The assembly and engagement of the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the second variant on the connector <b>3</b>′ of the second variant are unchanged from the first variant of adapter <b>4</b> and connector <b>3</b>.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 13A and 13B</figref>

0154This adapter <b>4</b> of the third variant is designed as a shelf board holder with a narrowed upper side <b>41</b> and otherwise basically has the same features as the adapters <b>4</b>, <b>4</b>′ according to the first and second variant and is mounted in an equivalent manner. The screw holes <b>42</b> in the base part <b>40</b> with the screws <b>49</b> serve for fastening a shelf board placed thereon.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 13C and 13D</figref>

0155On the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the fourth variant, which is likewise designed as a shelf board holder, all of the equivalent contours which are located on the adapter <b>4</b> of the third variant are provided with the same reference numbers, but with the addition of a prime [′]. A new description is therefore unnecessary. In order to increase the mechanical strength, the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the fourth variant has in turn on the base part <b>40</b>′ a tongue <b>43</b>′ which is designed to be more solid and a stronger counterpart <b>46</b>′. Assembly and engagement of the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the fourth variant on the connectors <b>3</b>, <b>3</b>′ and the fastening of a shelf board placed thereon are unchanged.

0156This adapter <b>4</b> of the fifth variant is configured as a seat holder and first of all likewise comprises a base part <b>40</b> with the screw holes <b>42</b>, the tongue <b>43</b> and the first hook contour <b>44</b>. Studs <b>45</b> rise from the base part <b>40</b>. The associated counterpart <b>46</b> has the screw holes <b>47</b> and the second hook contour <b>48</b>. The screws <b>49</b> serve for the connection between base part <b>40</b> and counterpart <b>46</b> and for the purpose of mounting a seat.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 14D to 14F</figref>

0157On the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the sixth variant, which is likewise designed as a seat holder, all of the equivalent contours which are located on the adapter <b>4</b> of the fifth variant are provided with the same reference numbers, but with the addition of a prime [′]. A new description is therefore omitted. In order to increase the mechanical strength, the entire base part <b>40</b>′ and the counterpart <b>46</b>′ of the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the sixth variant are made to be more stable. Assembly and engagement of the adapter <b>4</b>′ of the sixth variant on the connectors <b>3</b>, <b>3</b>′ and the fastening of a seat correspond to the adapter <b>4</b> of the fifth variant.

0000<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 15A</figref>

0158The components for the construction of a booth of the first variant first of all comprise two side elements <b>2</b> forming the outer termination, in each case two second wall elements <b>12</b> and third wall elements <b>13</b> and a first wall element <b>11</b>. A connector <b>3</b> of the first variant is provided between each side element <b>2</b> and wall element <b>11</b>-<b>13</b>. The adapters <b>4</b> of the first variant are already partially mounted or provided in order to install a supporting surface <b>5</b> which has a recess <b>52</b> for the insertion of a socket insert <b>53</b>. In the assembled state, the supporting surface <b>5</b> rests fixed on the adapters <b>4</b>.
